I'm a longtime marketing analytics veteran whose been working in the field of big data before it was called "big data". I started doing business analysis using SAS back in the 1990s, then increasingly began using SQL at the start of the 2010s, and have gotten reasonably proficient in Python.

Currently, I work in consumer packaged goods (CPG), but my analytics background encompasses many industries: pharmaceuticals, banking, retail, and direct marketing (CRM). I've also taught IT and business statistics courses.

When I'm not crunching numbers, I am enjoying opera, travel, and fitness; reading biographies of U.S. Presidents and books on various events in U.S. and world history; and cooking.
